Remember the Pinochet case?
If your country has been taken over by commies, you need a Gus ...
His methods might be a little rough shod, but the job gets done!

Its a small step from Israeli Generals bulldozing terrorist nighborhoods, to American Generals in Iraq and Afghanistan..
I might expect this from Germany or France, but Britain?
Simple solution, give all military commanders diplomatic status when they travel.
This guy better start re-thinking his actions. If destroying a home is a war crime, than the entire British contingent in Iraq has commited war crimes as several houses have been blown up over the course of the war in the Basra area.
One can expect this type of nonsense from the Germans and French but not from the British.

It might have been nice if the IDF had lured the British officers onto the El-Al plane, and arrested them, and detained them in Israel until such time as the Israel and the UK reached a diplomatic agreement that IDF officers are immune from seizure in the UK.
If he did the crime, then no matter whose side he is on he should do the time.
Everthing Israel does is called a crime by the terrorist-supporters.
Anything Israel does to defend itself is called a crime, but when palestinians fire rockets or carry out suicide bombings (which are directed at innocent civilians) then the leftists and euros call it "freedom fighting."
When are the appeasers ever going to learn? Israel should be taking more land not giving it away.
A very strange and dangerous precedent is being set.
Pinochet helped save his country from ruin and a Castro-style dictatorship. Read CHILE'S MARXIST EXPERIMENT by Robert Moss and Moss's chapter on Chile in THE COLLAPSE OF DEMOCRACY. Any reckoning with Pinochet and his men needs to take into account the dire threat Allende posed to that beautiful country.
It's pretty nauseating when you see that so many liberals are sympathetic to terrorists, but cast calumny on those who fight them. A terrorist is not a freedom fighter, and a dead terrorist is a martyr only to people who are, at best and put charitably, severely mixed up.
I agree. Personally I would have leveled "Palestine" long ago.
May G-d bless and keep this brave soldier who is fighting to keep Israel safe. The world has gone mad!
Makes me not want to leave the good ole' USA.
What nonsense! This is exactly why the US won't come close to participating in a World Court.
Every country has a limited right to protect its own citizens anywhere, but the USA needs jurisdiction to bring charges.
So now Britain is charging war crimes against Israeli generals, for crimes not committed in Britain and which did not involve (few if any) British citizens. Wow.
Hey, Tony, why not set your teacup down and charge some of those Sudanese officials with war crimes? Or do you only use these laws selectively?
FCS, you're fighting Muslims in Iraq and at home. How is it that you criminalize the Israelis for doing exactly the same thing you are?
The more I think about this the angrier I get, to the point that I find the whole deal virtually unbelieveable.
The Bible says the whole world will be against Jersusalem- and, it is.
